How to Make Beachcomber Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined (about 1 minute). Be careful not to overmix.
  7. [Add remaining ingredients here - This step requires the complete list of missing ingredients. For example: Add 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped nuts, mixing until evenly distributed.]
  8. Use a 2-inch ice cream scoop to drop rounded scoops of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
